Like most website operators, Deploy Software Solutions, Inc. collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request.

From time to time, we may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on usage trends. We may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, this aggregate information will not disclose your personally-identifying information.

We use Google Analytics in order to better understand our web traffic. For more information on how Google Analytics collects and processes data, please view the following link.
